Just started a game again. They have removed the Tiles on the planet, replacing it with a pretty confusing alternative menu. There is no attachment to the planet and its inhabitants. Its only numbers and lists now. Also the borders of an empire now only grow for every "dominated" system / a system w...

Its the danger of loosing focus when:
-self organizing / solo development

Ever tried Oolong tea?

Oolong sounds like a boring mod for Oolite. Maybe one that decimates FSD rates.

And Oolite sounds like a diet version of Marmite.

Coffee scented tea, now that would be a new product idea.

The biggest difference: there is actual working game out for people to buy and evaluate ..

Interesting Blog post Here some parts where he noticed he was idling unproductively to increase productivity: Instead of writing new code or playtesting the game I found myself spending more and more time refactoring code. If you’re not a programmer this basically amounts to moving chairs around – s...

In the end there a many possible systems. MEA just had bad (compared to ME 1-3) writing and character presentation. BTW: making every paragon/renegate decision add up to a final score will push the players into having just one choice. And thats not situational rolepaying then. I would only count cer...

Casual : the Artisan/Killer (Manipulator) style, which seeks strong sensations through risk-taking and the adept tactical manipulation of people and objects. Professional : the Guardian/Achiever style, which believes the Right Thing is to win by playing hard but within proper logistical rules and p...

I can't muster the desire to return to this game. I've probably played through the original trilogy more than ten times, but I've only played through Andromeda once. I've tried to start new games, but this game lacks a hook to bring me in. I simply do not care about the story or the characters in i...

I passed on pre-ordering when I found out there was no boxed collector's edition. I'll wait until Egosoft has a rethink about this decision. :angel: I think thats related to Egosoft publishing the game by themselves, without a large publisher. They probably cant pull off the logistics required to m...

Good music has an objective value. It does not age technically (one of the few things in modern media) and is unspecific enough (no lyrics) to be used in another game in the future.
Not sure, if giving it away would be well advised, even if the license allows to do so.

Could be that he announced to abandon the project (also to get the public off his back), but was reconsidering and is actually continuing to develop on it.. Would be the most interesting scenario. In his situation, I would look for a new job, but keep part-time development on it. There is really no ...

Adam got a job offer at Blizzard, and Josh was running on a very slim budget.
Its logical that Adam left. Noone can blame him in that situation. I would have done the same.

Other engines mainly cant do: be your own selfmade engine ....
